Diamond Cup Review

Diamond Cup: A Newcomer to the Menstrual Cup World

The Diamond Cup is a new menstrual cup that is now available on Amazon. The main reason that you might consider buying the Diamond Cup is because it’s cheaper than many of the other ones. You can get two of them for about 1/3 of the price of something like the Diva Cup or MoonCup.

We found some information that says that the Diamond Cup is manufactured in the USA. However, we’re not sure how they could possibly sell the cup so cheaply if this is the case. No other cups manufactured in the USA, or Europe are offered for anywhere close to a similar price.

We then found some information that the company is based out of China. If this is the case, why wouldn’t the cup be manufactured there as well? Overall, there are a lot of questions and we’d appreciate some additional information from this company about the exact deals.

Helps People in the Developing World?

The company claims to help women in developing countries, although how exactly they do this is unclear. In one promotional picture they say that they donate one cup to a women in a third world country for every one that is purchased. We’re unsure of what organization they do this through, or how many cups they’ve donated to date.

On their website they say that you can sign-up for “VIP membership” and in exchange for giving them your email address, they’ll donate $1 to “these organizations.” There is no links or lists of what “these organizations” actually consist of!

What they actually do is certainly confusing. If you’re looking for a company that has an actual, legit program that gets cups in the hands of underprivileged people around the world, you should consider the Ruby Cup instead.

We certainly wouldn’t recommend buying the Diamond Cup based on the fact that they help people around the world. Now, let’s look at whether or not the Diamond Cup is one that you should consider buying in terms of sizing and whether or not it actually works well..

The Diamond Cup: 2 Sizes

Size A (princess small): C-section, pre-childbirth

Size B (emerald large): Post-vaginal birth

Again, this company suffers from some mixed messaging. In one place they use size A/B and then in another they use Princess small/Emerald large.

However, the two cup sizes (small/large) look pretty standard amongst menstrual cups. Despite looking all over their website and on the Amazon product description, I was unable to find the exact dimensions of the two Diamond Cups.

A company that doesn’t give any exact specifications for the cup sizing is a huge red flag in our opinion. It’s actually enough of a reason to give this one a pass. Any reputable company will be very clear about the dimensions of their cups.

People that like the Diamond Cup are Saying:

“The silicone is quite soft and the stem is smooth. This makes insertion and removal quite easy. I did however find this one a bit more difficult to clean than some of the other ones. There are lots of ridges on the outside. “

“The Diamond cup is made of a very soft material so it takes a while to get used to inserting it. But, I’m getting the hang of it. Overall, I prefer a softer cup to some of the stiffer ones like the Diva Cup. It just feels more comfortable inside of me. “

“I was terrified to try a menstrual cup, but once you figure it out, it’s amazing! I’m not wasting money on pads or tampons every again!”

The Takeaway on the Diamond Menstrual Cup:

The Diamond Cupis a newcomer to the menstrual cup world. While they perhaps do make a decent cup (it’s manufactured in the USA, maybe?), there isn’t a whole lot of information about it.

For example, I’d like to know the exact dimensions of the two sizes of cups in order to be able to recommend it for certain types of body shapes. Most of the Amazon reviews appear to have in exchange for a free period cup so should perhaps not be trusted. The overall rating at 4.3/5 isn’t bad, but it’s uncertain how many of the 5-star ones have been paid for by the company.

It does appear that the Diamond Cup is very thin and pliable, which some people love. There is also a very short stem, which could perhaps be good for those with a low cervix, but it’s unclear what the total length is. This short stem can also make removal quite difficult for some. It terms of shape, it’s pretty standard and compares to the other popular menstrual cups on the market today.

The company does seem committed to helping people in the developing world, but again, I’d like more specific details about how they do it. This menstrual cup is on my “wait and see” list. Hopefully the company sees this review and will give more detailed information about these two things.

If you must, you can easily get the Diamond Cup on Amazon:

Consider Another Menstrual Cup Instead

It’s probably wise to give the Diamond Cup a miss for now. We’re not sure of the sizing, the manufacturing process, materials used in the cup, or whether or not the marketing claims the company makes are actually true.

It’s better to just spend a bit more money on a cup from a reputable company. Check out this menstrual cup comparison chartfor help in making the best choice for you.
